Oysters and sparkling wines are considered a perfect match and science has a reason why. New research findings show that the two foods contain complementary sets of umami flavours that act to enhance the taste, working together harmoniously.

Fabulous Baked or Raw Perfectly Chilled

Enjoy Oysters baked or perfectly chilled.  Oysters always go with bubbles.  Its a classic combination for a good reason – oysters are salty and briny, combining perfectly with bubbles which pack a good bit of acid, and in some cases a touch of fruity flavour.

Oysters are so complex on their own to take them to the next level we have included some delicious sauces.

Ingredients:

  • 12 fresh oysters, cleaned and shucked (on the half shell)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • Tobasco sauce

Sauce Options

  • Mignonette Sauce:
  1. 1/2 cup minced shallots (about 2 1/2 ounces)
  2. 1/4 cup white vinegar
  3. 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar (if using seasoned rice vinegar, omit the sugar and salt)
  4. 1/8 teaspoon sugar
  5. 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  6. 1 1/4 teaspoon finely crushed white peppercorns (do not use pre-ground or powdered white pepper)
  7. Mix all the ingredients together and use as a dipping sauce for the baked oysters.
  • Horseradish Sauce
  1. If you can, skip the prepared horseradish and seek out fresh horseradish root. For this garnish, simply peel the rough, barklike exterior of the root with a knife or vegetable peeler. Then, grate the fresh horseradish over freshly shucked oysters and enjoy the extra little kick it gives them.

Instructions

  1. To bake oysters, preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare Oysters:
    Clean the oysters thoroughly, shuck them, and arrange them on a baking sheet with rock salt or crumpled foil to keep them steady.
  3. Make Garlic Butter Sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Top Oysters:
    Spoon the garlic butter sauce over each oyster, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. Bake:
    Bake the oysters in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the oysters start to curl, and the butter is bubbling.
  6. Serve:
    Remove the baked oysters from the oven and serve them immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
